[nvmewin] nvmewin Digest, Vol 40, Issue 3

Fri Apr 10 07:56:44 PDT 2015

All,

Samsung would like to take up the following patches -

1.Feature - Optimizing driver initialization performance.
Description - Instead of learning cores, use StorPortInitializePerfOpts()
to get the array of MSI numbers corresponding to each logical processor and
make the Llogical processor-Queue-MSIx mapping.
Submitter - Samsung (Suman)
Date - End of June

2. Feature - Handling device surprise removal in IOCTL path using Win 8.1
Timers.
Description - The existing implementation of detecting surprise removal
during IO using the StorPortNotification(RequestTimerCall,..) does not work
when IOCTL commands are outstanding. Starting from Windows 8 kernel,
StorPortRequestTimer() is supported which handles the surprise removal in
IOCTL path too. For Windows 7 kernel, this will be a limitation.
Submitter - Samsung (Suman)
Date - End of July

3. Feature - Device EOF support(Read Only)
Description - Read only support for devices at EOL. Detection at init, hot
plug, or run-time.
Submitter - Samsung (Suman)
Date - End of August

Thanks,
Suman
